Saudi Arabia rejects Netanyahu’s remarks about displacing Palestinians
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Arabia affirms its categorical rejection of remarks by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about displacing Palestinians from Gaza, the foreign ministry says in a statement.
Israeli officials have suggested the establishment of a Palestinian state on Saudi territory. Netanyahu appeared to be joking this week when he responded to an interviewer on pro-Netanyahu Channel 14 who misspoke by saying “Saudi state” instead of “Palestinian state” before correcting himself.
While the Saudi statement mentions Netanyahu’s name, it does not directly refer to the comments about establishing a Palestinian state in Saudi territory.
